Enthusiasm for a candidate is one of the most underreported and yet most important and crucial statistic especially if you are predicting.

There is a gargantuan disparity between Trump and Kamala. 14 points. That is a very wide difference. It is a canyon between them.
It is a good stat to pay attention to.

On the economy Trump has the edge but you are going to see a narrowing and Kamala will neutralize that issue. Maybe even overtake Trump. You will definitely see this happen.

The Trump campaign knows that he is losing and it is getting worse. Their internal polling tells them this.
That’s why they are trying to change him. But it is futile. The voters he needs prefer conventional and it ain’t happening because truthfully Trump is way too much of a bum to stop the childish immature insults.
I’m not even talking about criminality and pro dictators.
He is who he is and will be until the day he takes a trip and does not come back.

In the United States of America right now because of Trump and Republicans women’s reproductive and contraceptive rights are a monumental issue.

A landslide of women are fighting to keep their rights or get them back.

So who are these men who don’t fight with them at the ballot box? Do they not have wives and mothers and grandmothers and daughters and sisters and nieces and aunts and girlfriends and friends?

Who are these men?
I would like to know.

I'm pro-choice, but I'd say a left-winger referring to abortion rights as "contraceptive rights" is pretty much leaning right in to pro-life arguments...

I usually agree with your "observations" but aren't "women's reproductive" and ""contraceptive"rights different issues?

IVF is certainly also a part of this over-arching issue.

For me it gets down to just WHO is/are being empowered to make decisions in your daughter's medical choices and (literally) within her Physician's office??

Your daughter and/or her Doctor or some Government? ANY Government..........State or Federal!

Critic as I may be of Dino I don't think He was trying to infer support for Abortion as a Contraceptive Right?
Or was he?

I said reproductive rights AND contraceptive rights.

BTW - if you went issue by issue with me you would be hard pressed to call me a “left winger”.
I am left of center only because of the extreme right.
Otherwise I am just a mainstream centrist.

You have freedom of speech but it is a shame that you did not have something productive to say in response to my post, as a pro choice person.

The average sane person does not realize that if Trumpler wins there is a probability that there will be a MAGA trifecta.
Right now I think that other then West Virginia changing hands that no senator race will flip. Some races will be razor thin but I think the status quo will be maintained in the Senate. So 50/50 in the senate. VP tiebreaker.

The House will be razor thin. I see the Dems picking up seats but not necessarily control. It will be very close one way or the other.
Thats how I predict it.

But if Harris wins I think it is a lock that after 2026 there will be a dem trifecta.

Most people even smart people are lazy thinkers. They cannot accept realities because sometimes they cannot ( it is too uncomfortable ) see the bad in certain people.

The laziness also keeps them from seeing the big picture - smart people.

But collectively it produces a dumb country.

We need to stop referring to anti-abortionists as "pro-life." THAT truly plays right into their hands. They are not "pro life"; they are antiabortion. The two terms should not be used interchangeably.

Very true. I am also good with anti-choice or no choice for that side.

The hateful one has his sentencing on September 18.
Many right wing defending legal experts say he is a first time non violent offender.

That is a political probably dishonest evaluation.
There have been jail sentencing for people in that classification.
But most important is that there has never been this set of circumstances.
The crime was committed to commit fraud on the entire United States of America in a criminal way.
That is very serious and the magnitude of the impact on society is incalculable because it is so serious.

I think he will get jail time.
In this regard I am pro life.

A lot of people like their president to be sleazy, elementary school juvenile, a lie every minute, lover of communists but calling his opponents communists, desirous of being a dictator, take from the poor and give to the rich, brainwashing christians into being something that is not Christian, scapegoat finding, encourager of violence , hater of gun safety laws, misogynist and murderer of freedom and personal freedom.

Im just sayin it like it is. I’m just keeping it real.

ps I left out enemy of the rule of law and conspiracy mongerer and disparager and mocker of the Brave military people of the country.

So bottom line is who are these people that are attracted to hateful ranting. What brought them there and why do they rejoice together in anger and hate?

Generally speaking democrats sometimes call a MAGA policy fascist but the label comes from the perceived or expected consequence of the policy.

On the other hand, unfortunately Trump and MAGA call democrat policies and proposals communist in order to classify it and negatively define it without any comment or care about the benefits to come. Not a care in the world about that.

That is a big problem for the country.

And in terms of ignorance they do not know the difference between communism and democratic socialism.

When I mention democratic socialism I am not speaking about a political platform to be promoted or sought to replace capitalism. I am only speaking to some individual institutions that work better in that format like the postal service.

if someone needs to call the ACA socialist who cares , really. The problem is them.

The Post Office???????????works better???

Are you nuts?

Oh, snap.
